Carrier Aircraft

Carrier Aircraft of the Propeller Era looks at carrier aircraft from its earliest days - the first faltering experiments before and during World War One, then through the rapid developments of the interwar period. In World War Two the carrier aircraft proved its worth, defeating battleships and securing the skies for amphibious assaults. This publication, by the team behind Aeroplane, also revisits the Korean War, where the propeller era reached its peak and finally gave way to the jet age.
